English UK is delighted to announce that Jeremy Harmer will be delivering this year's opening plenary session at the English UK Teachers' Conference on Saturday 13th November 2010.

Jeremy's talk is entitled, 'What do Teachers do Next?' The talk will explore how teachers can continue to maintain their enthusiasm and grow as their careers develop. Jeremy replaces Maurice Claypole who has sadly had to withdraw from this year's event but we are hoping that Maurice will speak at the 2011 event instead.

The full day of interactive plenary and elective sessions is aimed at exploring ways that schools and colleges can improve the international student's journey throughout their time in the UK.
